Listen to this blog.
We know what love is because Jesus gave his life for us. This is why we must give our lives for each other. If we have all we need and see one of our own people in need, we must have pity on that person, or else we cannot say we love God.
Children, you show love for others by truly helping them, and not merely by talking about it.
When we love others, we know we belong to the truth, and we feel at ease in the presence of God.
1 John 3:16-19
Jesus did for us what we could not do for ourselves, but then He requires that we do for others what He did for us. Of course, we cannot pay the price for the sins of other people, but we can give our lives for them. In the Kingdom of God the lowliest among you is also the greatest. The one who gets the most praise is the one who serves others the most.
If you seek every day to do for someone else something that they cannot do for themselves, you will touch the joy of Jesus. I have a friend who seems to get his greatest joy by helping someone else. I have asked for his help on a few projects that overwhelmed me and his response has always been more than positive. When he finds someone he can help his day is just brighter.
So often we try to tell people about Jesus and what He did for them, instead of showing them! When you love someone and express that love through actions that bless, it is easy to tell them what Jesus did for them as well!
